Simple Things

We made a pie the other day. Partly it was to keep Boss Hog happy and partly to keep Eden and Arlo happy. I had a bad childhood stomach flu that involved peach pie and have as a result never been too overly fond of pie in general. It is not worth the effort to me (unlike chocolate cake which I can rouse myself to bake with startling regularity).

For some reason we had a lot of pie dough left over this time so we made a mini muffin tray of "fairy pies" for the little people. They were quick and easy and delicious filled with last summers raspberry jam. They were also much easier to give to the kids and did not require forks or plates. They were simple and homey and wonderful. They have not won over Boss Hog's heart but they have won over mine.
